authors use in their literary works for centuries. Over time, these horror
teams have been changed and developed based on societies’ fears and needs.
Especially 19 <sup>th </sup>century is considered to be a turning point for the
evolution of horror as a reflector of human’s fears and preoccupations.  Meanwhile monsters which acquire
extraordinary features have made a breakthrough in horror fiction. One of the
most important events which leave its mark on the era is the <i>ghost story </i> competition started by Lord
Byron. Two important pieces of English Literature, Mary Shelley’s <i>Frankenstein (Or The Modern Prometheus) </i>and
John William Polidori’s <i>The Vampyre </i>
emerged in this challenge. This study will discuss the analysis of the books
mentioned. It will present gothic factors, major symbols, characters and their
roles in the novels, on the one hand; it will compare the relationships between
the protagonists and the antagonists on the other. <b> <span style="color:#FF0000;"> </span> </b> </span> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b>}, number={21}, publisher={Türkiye Dil ve Edebiyat Derneği}
